For Metaphysical Times Newspaper, we embrace a diverse range of content, including articles, interviews, event coverage, personal experiences, and other metaphysical-related material. While Sabat themed content is welcomed, it is not required.
Metaphysical Times Full Moon Magazine welcomes a wide range of creative works, including short fiction and creative non-fiction, music, poetry, recipes, art, photography, and articles regarding the creation of creative works, histories of creative pieces, etc.
Website and YouTube Channel. We accept videos and links to podcasts to play on our website and Youtube Channel. Advertisements may appear at the beginning or end of videos at our discretion.
Content placement in our publications is at our discretion and may be subject to availability and change. We do not guarantee publication of any work submitted. We do not discriminate or exclude content from any religion, belief, way of thinking. All are entitled to their opinions and are welcome to share their takes on life with us. Our publication of them may not necessarily reflect or align with our personal or business beliefs. We believe they all deserve to be heard and we provide a platform where they can be. Without bias, judgement, or push in any favored direction by us.
While we are unable to offer monetary compensation at this time, we wholeheartedly encourage collaborations and aim to foster an accepting, engaged, and supportive community. As a token of our appreciation, contributors receive a complimentary digital issue showcasing their work and we invite you to take advantage of any/all of our other promotional services. We have several free opportunities as well as paid advertising available via different links on the website. Select the ones that will work the best for you, or reach out via email to have us work with you to create a customized package that will best serve you and your endeavor. We are here to help you be seen and heard any way we can!
Copyrights: We retain one-time publication rights. You are always free to publish elsewhere. Please notify us if your work is published elsewhere and whether or not you want us to pull the article or publish it with a link to the original publication. We happily support and cross-promote other publishers and publications! It’s how we believe we build a connected and supportive community!
Excerpts may be created, at our discretion, with proper attribution, for publication and promotion of sales of our publications on our website. These excerpts will not exceed 20% of the whole article, will include a link to our Newsstand, and will be displayed for the cycle of the publication that the article itself runs in. After that, they will be archived, and only people searching for the author/contributor specifically by name will be able to view them via our website.
Our publications do appear in libraries and other archives, public and private, around the world. They may be used to train Large Language Models (AI) in the future. By submitting your content to us, you grant permission for your content that we publish in our works to be used in this manner, in perpetuity. We cannot offer an opt out option at this time.
Reprints: We welcome reprints from other publications, just let us know at the top of the submission what publication and when. We also happily allow articles published by us to be reprinted elsewhere, with proper attribution to Metaphysical Times LLC. Please credit as “Originally published by Metaphysical Times LLC, www.metaphysical-times.com.
Please note that once an article is published online, we cannot remove it without altering the original content and potentially affecting the original copyright of our publication. However, we can issue redactions in future issues upon request. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Art and photos require proper rights or permissions. Please submit credit information, with images and graphics so we can properly credit their creator in the captions and avoid any copyright complications in the future.
We use a 3rd party plagiarism checker on all content submitted. Plagiarism checks must report 90% unique content or the piece will be declined.
Legal Disclaimer: Authors are responsible for copyright compliance of their written works and images they provide to us for publication.
Part 2: Submission Guidelines
Multiple Submissions: Please submit separately. If part of a series, please note the order in which each piece should be published. We will do our best to ensure they go into the consecutive issues, but make no guarantees.
Author Profiles: Upon acceptance, you will receive an email notification with instructions to log in and update your Author Profile on our website. It becomes a byline on your article excerpt that readers can click to learn more about you (your bio and any other content created by you that we have published previously). We encourage you to complete your profile and add an image for the best results.
Edits: We edit informative content for grammar, spelling, and readability in US English.
However, creative content such as short stories and poetry is considered artistic work and will not be edited. Please ensure that your creative pieces are fully edited before submitting, as we will not revise them to avoid claims of censorship.
Formatting:
Language: American English Spacing: Single spaced Font: Times New Roman
- Title: 14pt
- Subheadings: 12pt
- Body: 11pt
- No emojis as they do not embed well.
Word Limit: Maximum 600 words -We try to get a lot of writers featured in every issue. A low word count allows us to include more writers in our limited spaces.
If you have larger pieces (up to 1200 words) you would like to submit, we can work out getting them on the website in full, or make a special arrangement for it in an upcoming issue and are happy to do so. Email us at metaphysicaltimesidf@gmail to discuss it.
Image Submission: Please don’t send images. We have a very difficult time ensuring copyrights on images we do not own. We will add our own to ensure your content is beautiful and attention grabbing.
Note: We may use our own images with articles if we cannot find and obtain proper permissions for images submitted with articles.
By following these formatting guidelines, you will help ensure a smooth submission process.
When you submit an article, we use your email address to create an Author Profile on our website. You will be sent a link with a password in it. Please enter and change the password and include any information, including an image of you. This creates a clickable byline that takes our readers to all articles written by you. If you go by a pen name as a writer, please use that name and an email address that points to that name when you submit.
By submitting, you agree to these guidelines and terms. Contact us for clarification before submitting if you have any questions. If you do not agree to all of the terms, do not submit your work to us.
